South Orange, N.J. — The Josh Osit Era of Seton Hall women's soccer will kick off at Owen T. Carroll Field against La Salle on August 18 at 6 p.m. The home opener is one contest in an 18-game schedule for the Pirates that features 10 home fixtures, including two against BIG EAST foes that were NCAA Tournament teams last season.

The Pirates open the 2022 season with four of their first five matches on campus. They'll look to duplicate their early-season success from last year when The Hall won its first three games of the 2021 campaign, giving it their first 3-0 start since 2012. August 25 will see a soccer doubleheader at Owen T. Carroll Field as the women face NJIT at 4 p.m. followed by the men's team's match against Rider at 6:56 p.m.

After a 6 p.m. contest against Columbia at Owen T Carroll Field on Sept. 16 and an idle weekend, the Pirates will open conference play with back-to-back home games against Providence on Sept. 22 and Villanova on Sept. 25. Seton Hall defeated Villanova on the road last season, 2-1. Five of the Pirates' final eight matches will be away from South Orange.

The top six teams in the conference standings based on points (three for a conference win, one for a draw) earn invites to the BIG EAST Championship, with the top two teams receiving byes directly into the semifinals.

Seton Hall, which has seen steady improvement the last three seasons, returns multiple key pieces from last season's squad that registered the program's most wins since 2012.

Entering his first year as the head coach at Seton Hall, Osit has had success as a recruiter and tactician within Northeast Division I soccer for a decade. He helped turn Columbia into a consistent winner over seven seasons — producing 35 All-Ivy League selections, six United Soccer Coaches All-Region honorees, and the 2017 Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year — and prior to joining the Lions, he was on staff for two NCAA Tournament teams at Rutgers.
 
That’s a very thin roster but understandable given we had a coaching change and a lengthy interval before we hired a new coach.
 
It’s a shame there is not a phone number or email for the new coach on the SH website. I wanted to contact him and bring my daughters ECNL u16 team to a game and have them see the campus and maybe meet some of the players/ coaches after the game.
For the last 5 years I have tried to help SH woman's soccer and they either don’t have emails or phone numbers posted and if they do they never respond to any messages. Very frustrating that he has been here a month and people can’t get in touch with him.

The athletic dept at SH does puzzling things at times like not listing the men’s basketball assistant coaches on its website and it’s been 4 months since Sha was hired. There ought to be some mechanism in place for calls to be answered and responded to when they are legitimate as sonofshu described in his post.
 
Even if we have no assistant coaches announced for the program yet, I don't see why the head coach doesn't have contact information.

Just a suggestion, but have you tried calling the athletics office and asking for his contact information for the reasons you stated? I agree that it should be on there, but there is more than one way to contact him other than directly (or at least to try).
 
Yes, I have called the athletic department and they forward me to the soccer office and I get a voice mail. Messages go unreturned. I will keep trying as I would love to see them succeed!

If you haven't already, try reaching out to the administrator for the Women's Soccer program. That person's info is on the SHU Athletic Department website.

In my view, the first issue is not an athletic department issue. It's an issue with the information flow coming from the basketball office. When the person who runs that office determines that information can be released, it will be.

As for the latter, I agree and offered a potential solution to sonofshu in my above post.

I have to respectfully disagree. There ought to be an Athletic Department policy with respect to what is required on each individual sport page in the website and should include full bio’s on each member of the staff for that sport as well as full bios for each player.
 

Osit Adds Picone, Heinemann To Coaching Staff​

South Orange, N.J. — Seton Hall head women's soccer coach Josh Osit has announced the additions of Noelle Picone and Nick Heinemann as assistant coaches to his first coaching staff.

Picone joins the Pirates following a one-year stint as an assistant coach at her alma mater Fairleigh Dickinson, where she helped lead the Knights to two NEC regular season championships as a collegian. Heinemann currently serves as technical director at the prestigious Player Development Academy and has been with the club since 2013.

Similar to Osit, Picone and Heinemann carry deep New Jersey ties and extensive experience recruiting and coaching elite student-athletes.

"Bringing on two individuals and coaches of Noelle and Nick's caliber is a huge benefit to our program," said Osit. "Establishing a solid foundation for Seton Hall women's soccer in year-one is critical and I can't think of two better people to help carry out our vision. Noelle and Nick will also play a big role in establishing us in not just the Garden State but the entire Northeast."

This past season with Picone on the bench, FDU went 10-6-4 and advanced to the finals of the NEC Tournament. She also helped two Knights land on the All-NEC First Team and two more on the All-NEC Second Team.

Prior to her return to FDU, Picone spent over five years with The College of New Jersey as the program saw an incredibly successful stretch of play, going 70-5-6 with four NCAA Tournament appearances during her time as an assistant coach. Picone helped guide the Lions to three consecutive NJAC championships from 2017-19 and the Division III Final Four in 2017 while also mentoring nine All-Americans in her time on staff.

Picone brings with her a wealth of knowledge as not just a successful coach, but as a player at both the collegiate and post-collegiate level. Picone spent time with the NJ Wildcats W-League and WPSL semi-professional teams following her time at FDU. While at FDU, Picone was a part of two NEC Regular Season Champions, including the 2015 side that won both the regular season and NEC Tournament crown, en route to an NCAA Tournament berth. As an individual, Picone was a two-time All-NEC Second Team honoree, as she made 77 appearances over her career. She graduated from FDU with degrees in biology and psychology and she holds a Master's degree in counseling.

Heinemann has held a myriad of roles at Player Development Academy including tournament director, director of camps and programs and youth technical director before solidifying his current post as technical director of the organization. As technical director, Heinemann oversees 12 coaches at PDA, recruitment of players and serves as liaison between PDA and U.S. Soccer. He has also been the head coach of ECNL Blue Team since 2013 where he has developed multiple U.S. Youth National Team players, won a national championship in 2019 and advanced to the national finals this past year. Heinemann holds a USSF A License.

A native of Yorkshire, England, Heinemann played professionally in England and the United States from 2001-05. His first taste of coaching came with the New York Red Bulls in youth development before joining Far Post Soccer in Flemington, New Jersey in 2009.

Both will work under first-year head coach Josh Osit, a New Jersey native who has had success as a recruiter and tactician within Northeast Div. I soccer for a decade.

I don't disagree with you.

I'm just stating what I perceive the problem to be.

BTW, the Athletic Department staff directory has been updated to include the new Women's Soccer staff members and their bios. No phone number though.
